Nautical naughtiness

There's some nautical naughtiness going on at Cheeky Leopard today! These two fabulous seaside-inspired cosmetic bags are perfect for storing small items in and each has a kiss-clasp closure to keep your items safe. Use them as a gadget pouch, pencil case or makeup bag.

The multi coloured anchor print is a fun way to carry chargers and gadgets.

The lining to this anchor print is a fabulous over-sized red and white polka dot fabric.

Beach huts are a classic British seaside image and I love the fresh colouring of this one. Use it to store sunglasses and phone when on the beach.

This pouch also has a red and white polka dot lining.

Sail Away

At the weekend I paid a visit to Creative Quilting fabric shop in East Molesey. I regularly go there to pick up wadding and forage for interesting fabrics and I came across some fabrics that I designed for Makower UK. The collection is called Sail Away and has a fresh nautical theme which includes boats and beach items. The style of the group was inspired by the look of linocuts, with their stylised feel and irregular linework.

The fabric I bought was this fabulous boat print on a rolling sea background. The boats are incorporated into the sea but stand out boldly too.

Other designs in the collection include beach huts, boats, nautical icons and crabs! I love the quirkiness of the crabs and think it would make a great lining to a bag.

These ten inch squares use a different nautical scene in each one and were designed to be used as panels for cushions or for making into beach bags. They could also be used as table mats.

This border print is lovely and bold and uses many of the images from the other designs.

The border print is perfect for making into little girl's dresses. This one was in the window of Creative Quilting.

Having a whale of a time!

I just added this cutie to my Etsy store. I love the simple image and bright blues and think it would go rather nicely with one of my nautical coin purses. You can find it on my Etsy store here.
